So now I feel stupid. Even though the func_ladder entity has been deprecated from the SDK, creating a brush and applying the ladder texture to it accomplishes the same thing. So, if you don't want to use the new HL2-style ladders all you have to do is create a brush for the actual ladder (i.e. the standard ladder model), then create another brush with the ladder texture on all sides and place it over/in front of the ladder (depending on where/how you want the player to climb it).
Does anyone know how this works? The glass texture is similar...how does it apply these properties in-game? Josh p.s. I've only tried this in the multiplayer mod...not sure if it works in single player as well.
